Hallowed Ground.

By Thomas Campbell

What's hallowed ground? Has earth a clod Its Maker meant not should be trod By man, the image of his God, Erect and free, Unscourged by Superstition's rod To bow the knee?

What's hallowed ground? — 'Tis what gives birth To sacred thoughts in souls of worth! — Peace! Independence! Truth! go forth Earth's compass round; And your high-priesthood shall make earth All hallowed ground.

—Thomas Campbell.
